Forbes editorial staffers walk off the job

The Forbes Union, which represents the magazine’s editorial staffers, walked off the job Tuesday on a crucial day for the company, reports Kendall Tietz of Fox News.

Tietz reports, “The union issued a warning to management, scheduling its walkout on the same day as the release of Forbes’ well-known ’30 Under 30′ list, which includes 20 lists of 30 influential people under 30 years old who are recognized for their achievements in various industries.

“Members of the union, who are fighting for fair wages and reductions in force and severance protections, told Fox News Digital that management has been stalling at the bargaining table for nearly three years.

“‘CEO Mike Federle said at a recent town hall that management is eager to get a contract but that it seems like a very long way off. That’s because of his actions and that of management,’ Andrea Murphy, unit chair and statistics editor for Forbes, said. ‘We have been and will continue to be ready to get this contract done, including pay that recognizes the value we bring to Forbes.'”
